sorority comments

PNMs need to be open-minded. It can be hard when there's opinions being thrown at you from all sides, but none of that temporary catty stuff really matters when you're choosing a sisterhood you want to be a part of for life. Seek a bid where you can imagine late night while wearing your pajamas.

"Mutual Selection is mutual in that the PNM gets her pick first but only after the sororities get theirs. Where you are on the bid list matters a whole bunch.

going through rush this year. How do I know what I read in the O magazine article will never happen again at Ole Miss. Are there safe guards in place to make sure events are safe? Also are some of these girls with drinking isssues allowed to be in charge of the events? Please I want to know my child is safe.

every house has girls who drink/dont drink, exec board is generally made up of responsible women. they are the ones in charge of major events. if you raised your daughter to make good choices she is safe. the article in O about the chi os was truly an accident. they dont do the event anymore though

thank you for the advice. My niece went to a girls summer camp in Tuxedo NC last summer and one of the workers was a Ole Miss ChiO. Later I was saddened by some of the stories she has told my niece of her so called sorority life at Ole Miss. Your words of encouragement are so appreciated and I hate to judge the whole group by two incidents (camp/O article) but it does have me concerned. I will encourage my daughter to look at all the groups at rush.

Are there rules at Ole Miss concerning contact between PNMs and Actives before formal recruitment...?

Not really. They can't buy pmns gifts or Pay for thing and can't promise bids. But they can talk until silent week which starts Sunday before rush.

is a great school but the most brutal of all schools not only in the south but the country!!! Be prepared!

If you are invited back to a chapter you didn't like (ranked it lower/lowest), the ones you ranked higher didn't want you as much as the other women they invited back. None of the other chapter on campus prevented you from being invited to the ones you like better. There's only so many places in a pledge class.

school but their rush is horrific!
